Preferred term
customary legal norms
Definition
- Custom is a source of law in many nation-states as well as in international law. Although it is of inferior authority to legislation and scholars often give it less attention than statutory law and judicial decision making, in many states it is the source of legal norms of great importance in the lives of many subjects.
